Do you have an onboard soundcard or an Audigy 2, or both? I have both an Audigy 2 and an onboard. It might sound stupid, but make sure, if you want to use your Audigy, that you disable the onboard soundcard in your bios. Let me know if this fixes things.

hey i dont really know how to get into the settings to change anything. the sound card still doesnt work, but i dont know how to get into the settings to enable it. the onboard intel audio is disabled. i went to bios and disabled it. how do i do the terminal thing

The problem you are having is Mint detects the on board sound card, even though it is disabled in the Bios, and makes it the default. It also makes the Audigy the second sound card. You need to make the Audigy the Default.

1st: Open the Terminal - accessories terminal2nd: Type less /proc/asound/moduels press enter note the on board for later 0 snd_via82xx 1 snd_emu10k1 #0 is my on board sound and #1 is the Audigy3rd: Open Computer filesystem /ect/modprob.d/alsa-base or if you want to use the Terminal type sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base this will open the same file4th: Where it says # Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index add a "0"should look like this # Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 05th: Below the line you just changed add a new line options snd_whateveryourcardnameis index=-2 should look similar to this options snd_via82xx index=-26th: Save7th restart the computer

after the restart double click the volume icon on the desktop the volume control will pop up click file change devices and you should now see Audigy as 0

all i want is for my expensive creative audigy soundcard to work. its completely worthless now.

i also have a ati radeon 9500 that wont work either. or it works, but the driver isnt installed. the video sucks. fullscreen sucks. it says the drivers not installed. last time i tried to install it, the screen got all freaky and didnt work again. im all alone here on trying to get this thing to work properly. i love this os but i dont like that nothing works on it.

for graphics, you need to use EnvyNG, its preinstalled in Mint.go to the menu > administration > EnvyNGfrom there select ATI > Install the ATI driver default configuraton.you'll probably need a reboot after.
